a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. <u>This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.</u>

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground <u>because of gravitational attraction force of earth</u>.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes <u>because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.</u>

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide <u>because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.</u>

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits <u>so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.</u>

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base <u>so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding</u>.

V o - initial velocity
v = velocity at the maximum height,
v² = v o² - 2 g h
v = 0
0 = v o² - 2 g h
v o² = 2 g h = 2 · 9.80 · 0.460
v o² = 9.052
v o = √9.052 = 3.004197 m/s ≈ 3 m/s

An object is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 10 m/s, and there is an air resistance force causing an acceleration
lana [24]

Answer:

Vf= 7.29 m/s

Explanation:

Two force act on the object:

1) Gravity

2) Air resistance

Upward motion:

Initial velocity = Vi= 10 m/s

Final velocity = Vf= 0 m/s

Gravity acting downward =  g = -9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting downward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = -(g + a₁ ) = - ( 9.8 + 3 ) = - 12.8 m/s²

( Acceleration is consider negative if it is in opposite direction of velocity )

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * (-12.8) *s = 0 - 10²

⇒-25.6 *s = -100

⇒ s = 100/ 25.6

⇒ s = 3.9 m

Downward motion:

Vi= 0 m/s

s = 3.9 m

Gravity acting downward =  g = 9.8 m/s²

Air resistance acting upward = a₁ = - 3 m/s²

Net acceleration = a = g - a₁  =  9.8 - 3  = 6.8 m/s²

Now

2as = Vf² - Vi²

⇒ 2 * 6.8 * 3.9 = Vf² - 0

⇒ Vf² = 53. 125

⇒ Vf= 7.29 m/s

What is the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 hz?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

T = 0.003 s

(Period is written as T)

Explanation:

Period = time it takes for one wave to pass (measured in seconds)

frequency = number of cycles that occur in 1 second

(measured in Hz / hertz / 1 second)

Period : T

frequency : f

So, if we know that the frequency of a wave is 300 Hz, we can find the period of the wave from the relation between frequency and period

T =  \frac{1}{f}    f = \frac{1}{T}

to find the period (T) of this wave, we need to plug in the frequency (f) of 300

T = \frac{1}{300}

T = 0.00333333333

So, the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 Hz is 0.003 s

[the period/T of this wave is 0.003 s]

A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-m-radius circular rise. at the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"
Mashutka [201]

The solution for this problem is:

If they feel 50% of their weight that means that the centripetal force is also 50% of their weight 1g - 0.5g = 0.5g 


Then 0.5* 9.8m/s² * 18m = 88.2 would be v² 

Then get the square root, the answer would be:
and v = 9.391 m/s is the answer.
